php图片写入带问号_PHP方法参数类型提示带问号（？type）

I just felt on pieces of php (symfony/laravel) code using question mark in method type hints :

public function functionName(?int $arg = 0)

In other occasions the ?type was not the last one, but I did not find any of these with no default yet.

Problem is, I cannot find any information about this, and I checked :

And same with 7.2, but since the code only requires 7.1, it seems rather normal.

I also googled, and searched here, but either this is not documented or the question marks topic is defeating search engines.

So I feel a little dumb now, and I would really appreciate if someone could enlighten me on the signification of this question mark in method signatures arguments.

Thanks

It's a new feature in php7.1

A question mark means that the type hinted parameter (or return value) is also allowed to be null.

So in your example $arg can be null or any integer.
